Jane's Addiction

5/5

This whole concert including Smashing Pumpkin's was simply awesome, including the sound.

Apparently only people that had a bad time write reviews

5/5

I literally don’t understand these reviews. 1st of all, I’m an audio engineer and I know good live sound, and great live sound. This was GREAT live sound. Much more refined and dialed in, than the crazy amp volume of the past. Secondly every performer was absolutely delightful and sweet to the crowd who would think otherwise? Examples? Every band killed it- and if you think janes addiction was unintelligible- you’ve never heard janes addiction! That’s how it is on the record! The pumpkins BROUGHT it- flawless performance- the new stuff is incredible- in fact Billy’s screaming again and it’s SAVAGE- there was a point where after a song a complete stranger high fives and hugs out group because “that’s what I paid to see” . No live video will even come close to conveying not only the energy of pumpkin land- but how incredible this show actually sounded. If you had a bad night sound wise - then you must’ve been in the one bad spot. I was on the left side 1 row up and it was great

Great show

4/5
Todd Morgan from Vancouver BC

Both bands were tight energetic and entertaining. Some pretty disappointing reviews from previous shows but the Vancouver date was excellent. Janes set was too short, is my only complaint. Brilliant sound very loud and clear, musicianship was spot on. Back up band very cool as well. Hope future shows bring as much pleasure as this one did !!

Poppy was the only good thing

3/5
Alex from Chicago, Illinois
6th November 2022

Poppy was goddamn amazing. I had never heard of JA previously and I’m glad I didn’t because they were actually horrid. The sound was completely unintelligible and the sets and lights were easily the worst out of all the bands. The lead singer talked for half of the hour they were on stage and was a dick to the crowd. Smashing pumpkins were great but the sound quality was horrible. I could barely hear the singing most of the time and when I left the concert my ears rang

Reverb from hell

3/5

Although visually entertaining the acoustics were so bad we could barely make out what was being played. Never again attending American Airlines for a concert.

Moody austin: bad sound

3/5
Rich M from Austin, Texas
20th November 2022

The sound at the austin show was not good. Distortion was much higher than previous shows on other SP tours. Lyrics were barely intelligible. Very muddy. I went the next night and sat in the exact same area for Roger waters and it was significantly better. One of (if not) THE best sounding concerts I’ve ever heard. So, I think I had a pretty fair assessment. Jane’s was great. Maybe the sound profile fit their music better? Pumpkins show was good overall, but the sound made me leave a pumpkins show early, for the first time ever.
